In preparation, I have been studying the score and the >libretto, and I would like to buy a recording. There is only one recording to buy. That is the 1953 Victor De Sabata set on EMI with Maria Callas/Giuseppe di Stefano/Tito Gobbi/et. al. This recording is THE standard by which all others are judged. Not only will you enjoy this, but other people will really think you are a opera buff for having this in your collection! Happy listening, Jonathan Knapp
